PARASITOLOGY 1. THE AREA OF BIOLOGY CONCERNED W/ THE PHENOMENON OF DEPENDENCE OF ONE LIVING ORGANISM ON ANOTHER
2.
SYMBIOSIS: CLOSE ASSOCIATION OF TWO LIVE ORGANISMS (USUALLY OF DIFFERENT SPECIES) PARASITE LIVES ON OR IN ITS HOST COMMENSALISM: THE PARASITE DERIVES BENEFIT WO/ RECIPROCATING & WO/ INJURY TO THE HOST MUTUALISM: BENEFICIAL TO BOTH ASSOCIATES PARASITISM: THE PARASITE HARMS ITS HOST OR IN SOME SENSE LIVES AT THE EXPENSE OF THE HOST VECTORS: HOSTS THAT TRANSMIT PARASITES TO HUMAN
3
ECTOPARASITE: PARASITE LIVES ON THE SURFACE OF ITS HOST ENDOPARASITE: LIVES IN ITS HOST OBLIGATE PARASITE: IT CANT EXIST WO/ A HOST FACULTATIVE PARASITE: NORMALLY NOT PARASITIC BUT CAN BECOME SO WHEN IT ACCIDENTALLY EATEN OR ENTER HUMAN BODY
HOST 1. DEFINITIVE: SPECIFIC FOR A PARTICULAR SPECIES OF PARASITE 2. INTERMEDIATE: REQUIRED FOR PARASITE DEVELOPMENT BUT ONE IN WHICH DOESNT REACH SEXUAL MATURITY 3. RESERVOIR: ANY ANIMAL THAT HARBORS AN INFECTION THAT CAN TRANSMITTED TO HUMANS 4. INCIDENTAL: INCIDENTALLY INVOLVED AS A HOST 5. PARATENIC (TRANSPORT): PARASITE DOESNT UNDERGO ANY DEVELOPMENT BUT IN WHICH IT REMAINS ALIVE & INFECTIVE TO ANOTHER HOST
